Connecting the Issues to the Office

Civics Education Workshop Series 1 – West

VoterEducationNetwork.org, a nonpartisan civic education project by Metro Detroit APRI, has organized a series of gatherings for community members to connect the issues the community is facing with those offices that are responsible for addressing them — and to help develop better skills to determine which candidates have the record/platform to address their concerns.

These workshops are designed to help foster critical thinking skills to better determine those candidates who can represent them in various offices the best. We have tailored it so there will be community input into the formulative process by which each community determines its own goals or areas of concern — as such we invite all community members of Detroit/Wayne County to attend. Information will also be provided for potential voters on exercising their voices and making them heard. Refreshments and light snacks will be served.

Each meeting will be at least 2 hours in length and will be broken up into 6 different parts:

This is the first series of workshops in the 2016 election cycle, more will be announced. Please subscribe to posts on the Voter Education Network website and/or on our social networking pages/profiles.
